StarTech USB 2.0 A to C Cable 1m

This one-metre cable connects a USB Type-A host to a USB Type-C device using the USB 2.0 standard. It supports data transfer at 480 Mbit/s and carries charging current for everyday power needs. The male-to-male design fits standard ports on laptops, desktops, chargers and peripherals.

Users who need a durable link for charging

The aramid-fibre reinforcement and strain relief rated for over 10000 bend cycles at 180° suit frequent plugging and bag travel. Aluminium-Mylar foil with braid shielding reduces EMI in busy environments. Buyers who require USB 3.x or higher bandwidth should look at a different cable.

USB 2.0 480 Mbit/s speed rating

This single specification determines whether the cable matches the device and port capabilities. If the connected equipment operates at USB 3.0 or faster, the link will fall back to 480 Mbit/s. Check the host and device specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

What connectors does the 1 m USB 2.0 cable use?

It has a USB Type-A 4-pin male plug on one end and a USB Type-C 24-pin male plug on the other, both rated for USB 2.0 at 480 Mbit/s.

How do I avoid damaging the cable when plugging it in repeatedly?

Align the reversible Type-C connector before inserting; forcing it at an angle stresses the extended strain relief that is tested for 10000 bend cycles at 180°.

Will the Kevlar aramid fiber reinforcement degrade over time?

The aramid fiber is embedded inside the TPE jacket and does not wear out; the nickel-plated conductors and aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding maintain EMI protection for the life of the cable.
